How does a voltage quadrupler work?

A Voltage Quadrupler would be a DC circuit. A transformer would be used to increase the voltage in an AC circuit. To quadruple the voltage in a DC circuit would consist of (min) 4 resistors. 1 resistor would be directly in parallel with the power source, that is, one side of the R would be connected to one side of the source, and the other side of the R would be connected to the other side of the source. The remaining resistors are configured in a sort of series/parallel with the 1st resistor to increase (ladder fashion) the output voltage. See the related links for a more detailed explntn.


How will you convert a open current circuit to a open voltage circuit?

The first thing you need to know is the internal resistance of the current source, the voltage source will have the same internal resistance. Then compute the open circuit voltage of the current source, this will be the voltage of the voltage source. You are now done.


What are voltage dividers?

Voltage dividers are used in a linear circuit to separate the input voltage into a small portion known as the output voltage. It is commonly used to get a low voltage signal equal to the voltage being measured.


What is the voltage source and what is the conductor in a circuit?

The voltage source is the source of the electricity. The conductor is what the electricity flows through to reach its destination. Example: A battery is a voltage source and an electrical wire is the conductor.


What is a series circuit that is used to produce a voltage source of desired magnitude from a higher voltage battery?

Such a circuit would be called a voltage divider.The circuit would consist of two or more resistors in series across a battery or other voltage source. Each resistor would drop a certain amount of voltage (proportional to its resistance), and by considering the voltage drops, the investigator could pick two points in the circuit from which to take (or "pick off") the desired voltage needed for a project. Let's look at just one example.If a 12 volt battery has two 1K ohm resistors in series across it, each resistor will drop 6 volts. By connecting wires from each end of one resistor, the 6 volts can be "picked off" and used to do something else. Certainly there are limitations concerning how much current can be drawn from the circuit (called loading the circuit), as the "diversion" of current around the resistor that is providing the voltage will change the voltage that is being picked off. But for small amounts of current, the voltage divider will work adequately.

What are Relationship between the voltage drop across the resistors and the currents through the resistors when resistors are connected in parallel?

A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source.


How does the concept of parallel resistors connected to the same voltage source affect the overall resistance in a circuit?

When resistors are connected in parallel to the same voltage source, the overall resistance in the circuit decreases. This is because the current has multiple paths to flow through, reducing the total resistance that the current encounters.


When resistors are connected in parallel what are the relationships between the voltage drops across the resistor and currents through the resistors?

A: The relationship is that the current will divide for each paths in a parallel circuit and the voltage drop across each will be the source voltage. In a series circuit the current will remain the same for each component but the voltage will divide to reflect each different component value. And the sum of all of the voltage drops will add to the voltage source.


How do circiuts flow?

In a circuit, electric current flows from the positive terminal of the power source, through the components in the circuit (such as resistors and lightbulbs), and back to the negative terminal of the power source. The flow of electrons is driven by the voltage provided by the power source.

In a circuit electrons travel in?

In a circuit, electrons travel in a closed loop from the negative terminal of the voltage source, through the various components in the circuit (such as resistors, capacitors, and light bulbs), and back to the positive terminal of the voltage source. This continuous flow of electrons is what allows the circuit to function and for electrical energy to be transferred.


What is the total voltage drop across a set of resistors in series?

Simply add all of the component's resistances together and that will give you circuits total resistance. If you're dealing with a 'series-parallel', or 'parallel' circuit, the equations will change, but in a simple series circuit, the total resistance is just the total of all the component's resistance.

What is a Thevenin's equivalent circuit consists of?

A Thevenin's equivalent circuit is a single voltage source in series with a single resistor. It is electrically the same as any combination of voltage sources, current sources, and resistors that, as a black box, has two terminals. The technique is useful in simplifying circuits, when analyzing them.
